Equity Capital Markets

When a company's shares are first listed, it brings major changes to the company. The company will have a much wider shareholder base and be subject to more scrutiny, rules and regulations. We can ease the transition with expert and friendly advice.

What we do

We have wide experience of acting for both issuers and advisers on IPOs, reverse takeovers, secondary fundraisings and debt capital transactions. Our expertise is in all public markets in the UK with a particular emphasis on AIM. In addition, our team has experience of bringing overseas companies to AIM.

We have a specialist corporate governance unit which can advise on all corporate governance issues, which are relevant to companies whose shares are listed or quoted on any UK public market.

What we are known for

Our Equity Capital Markets practice is long-established and well-known. We act for companies in a variety of businesses, but are especially well-known for our expertise in the technology, resources, leisure, health and insurance sectors.

We hold regular seminars for NOMADs and brokers, which are well respected and attended, and recent topics have been wall-crossing, retail bonds, cash shells and reverse takeovers.
